Fourth of July

Lyrics

Trembling
 Starry eyed
 As you put your hand in mine
 It was twilight
 On the Fourth of July
 Sparkling colors were strewn across the sky
 And we sat close enough
 That we just barely touched
 While roman candles went soaring above us and baby
 Then you put your hand in mine
 And we wandered away
 I was trembling inside
 But I wanted to stay (To stay)
 Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
 On that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
 So starry eyed (So starry eyed)
 On the flowery hillside
 Breathless and fervid
 Amid the dandelions
 As it swept over me (Swept over me
 Like the wind through the trees
 I felt you sigh with a sweet intensity and baby
 Then you put your hand in mine (Your hand in mine)
 And we floated away
 Delicately lay entwined
 In an intimate daze (Intimate daze)
 A crescent moon began to shine
 And I wanted to stay (Stay)
 Tangled up with you among the fireflies
 On that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
 Thunder clouds (Thunder clouds)
 Hung around (Hung around)
 So threateningly (So threateningly)
 Ominously hovering
 And the sky (The sky)
 Opened wide (Opened wide)
 Showering (Oh, yeah, yeah)
 Then you put your hand in mine (You put your hand in mine)
 And we ran from the rain (In the pouring rain, baby)
 Tentatively kissed goodnight
 And went our separate ways
 And I've never truly felt the way that I
 Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
 Truly I have never felt the same inside
 Like that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
 Truly I could never feel the same as I
 Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
 Baby
